Gardenia Home sits in Sacramento on Stevenson Avenue, about two miles outside Florin, and stays small with only six residents at a time, which means you get more personal attention and a calm, home-like feeling all around, and they focus on assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, respite stays, and even adult day care so families can get a break when they need it. Residents can choose from studios, private rooms, one-bedroom apartments, or even communal living setups, and each room has a private bath and space for personal photos, which can help things feel a bit more like home, and while it's not fancy, there's a pool, a hot tub, gym, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and common areas where folks can unwind or meet up for conversation. The place is wheelchair accessible, the showers account for mobility needs, and the staff can help folks who have trouble getting around, whether it's dressing, moving from bed to chair, or even managing incontinence and using the bathroom, plus there's support for people who need reminders for medication, diabetic care, meal preparation-including diets for high blood pressure or other health concerns-spoon feeding, and help with bathing or hygiene.
You'll find lots of services here like regular housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, transportation to doctor visits or errands at an extra cost, and a resident parking area for those who need it, which is helpful for families coming and going, and they run outings into the local community, movie nights, art and music sessions, tabletop games, exercise classes, animal therapy, and even special spiritual activities in the chapel for those who want them. Meals come prepared fresh by a chef, with snacks available between times, and if someone needs a special diet, the kitchen staff works with those requests, plus there's a dietitian on-site for nutrition questions. The facility has a beauty and barber shop, private dining spaces, a café, reading room, library, and even greenhouse or garden spots to relax in, and small pets are often welcome, giving things a bit more comfort and normalcy day-to-day.
Gardenia Home provides both short-term and long-term stays, supports hospice care, recovery after surgery, and high-acuity care for people who need more attention, though it doesn't provide 24-hour skilled nursing like a nursing home. Instead, you get 24-hour staff on site to help with daily needs, safety features like fall prevention, and staff who many people find helpful and kind, trying to make things as safe and social as they can, even if it can't cover every medical need under the sun. The team offers family and resident support, care advisor consultations, and resources to compare local senior care options if you want to check things out or need help making decisions, and they truly work to keep matters simple and straightforward. The approach at Gardenia Home leans toward treating each resident like family, making sure there's enough activity, security, and peace of mind for people who maybe can't live alone but don't yet need full-time nursing care, and what you end up with is a quiet place where daily life moves at a steady pace, meals keep coming, and little details-like outings, music sessions, or having your own room to decorate-help keep things familiar and reassuring in a changing time.
